Ezekiel 36:5 therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Surely in the fire of my jealousy I have spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.”’

The verse centers on "therefore", "prophesy", "concerning", "land", "israel", "tell", "mountains", and "hills". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "therefore" and "prophesy", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 5's "therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh Surely..." into verse 7's "Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh I...", so "therefore" and "prophesy" belong inside that flow. In Ezekiel context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "therefore" and "prophesy" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
